Work smarter, not harder. To really firm, tighten, and lift your glutes, you need to target all the right muscles. This means you should do more than just squats. While squats are an incredibly effective exercise, most of their emphasis is on the thigh. Varying your exercises helps you work the different muscles that make up your glutes. The best butt exercises are those that concentrate on the butt, really targeting and strengthening those muscles.
